Your Paint Color Profile

M2Y/M0 - Papaya Metallic

The Look

Porsche used this shade to launch the 2022 Macan refresh, though it also makes an appearance on the Panamera. It is a warm orange that feels much more modern than the flatter reds of previous decades. Because it was a short-run color, it is a rare sight that gives your car a custom look. Since your vehicle is likely only a few years old, the original finish still has its factory depth, making a clean match even more important for your resale value.

Technical Details

This is a true metallic finish, meaning it relies on small flakes to reflect light. While the bright orange base is forgiving with dirt, the metallic component can be temperamental. If the flakes do not lay flat, the repair will look darker or cloudier than the rest of the panel. You want to avoid thick layers that stay wet for too long, as this allows the metal bits to sink and clump together.

Best Practices

Look for your code on a white paper label in the rear luggage area or on the first page of your service manual. Before you spray or dab Porsche Papaya Metallic (check for code M2Y/M0), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This motion distributes the heavy pigments and metallic flakes so they do not sit at the bottom of the container. Test the color on the included card to confirm the match before you touch the car. Keep the container moving to ensure an even coat and respect the drying time between layers to lock the color in place.

How to Find Your Porsche's Color Code

Porsche paint codes are often hard to find. They are usually near the spare tire area, printed on a paper color ID tag that may fall off with time. The owner's manual for some models sometimes lists paint codes. Porsche uses the same color across different models, and the same code may appear under different color names. Codes can be four characters starting with L or three characters, using letters and numbers.

Will absolutely order from this company again.

After ordering touch-up paint from Lexus I was still waiting for it a month later. If they'd told me upfront it would take that long I wouldn't have ordered in the first place. Paint Scratch was recommended by a friend who restores cars. Easy ordering, fair price and fast shipping. The color match is great especially considering my car is a 2012. Will absolutely order from this company again. Reason I chose this business: Lexus collision repair and a local collision repair. Will use paint less dent removal and touch up chipped paint myself. Reason I chose this product: Spouse sideswiped passenger side of car while backing out of garage. Mostly plastic transfer from his wheel well trim but pressure creased and cracked the paint causing a bare strip 1/8 wide x 4" long below door handle. Scratches on door handle and a few small chips on both doors.

Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans

Used Paint Scratch metallic custom mixed spray cans paint on a hood panel with excellent coverage and texture over the surface. Metallic paint can be very unforgiving out of a spray can, sputtering pigmentation dots on the panel being sprayed and thus ruining the paint job. No such issues with Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint spray cans. Paint sprayed strong and evenly till the last drop of paint in the can. Shipping time was faster than expected. Reason I chose this business: Having tried other brands of custom mixed metallic paint with terrible results, sputtering pigmentation tint dots from the spray nozzle in spite of vigorously shaking of can prior to application and loss of propellant rendering the lower fifth of the can's paint useless, Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint sprays out beautifully and strong all the way to the last gram of paint in the can. Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans for automotive restoration. Thank you Paint Scratch.
